Just Back From Florida

And the trip was fantastic. The motorcycle riding got old during the day due to heat, but we wised up on the way back by riding at night. Other than that, the first true distance trial (2600 miles) of my BMW K1200GT was a good one. The bike worked perfectly, as expected, and the only thing I may change about it in the future will be the seat...

As far as the scuba diving, I got to dive several wrecks, including the Spiegel Grove, the Thunderbolt, the Benwood, and the City of Washington. Several reefs were included as well. Lots of marine life- beats the hell out of a day (or a week, in this case) at the office! Florida Keys diving will definitely be included in my future expeditions.

I also stopped by the Coral Castle in Homestead, FL. It was really cool- in fact, I will be taking my wife there with me in the future. What a great accomplishment, and the chicks think it's romantic.

It's good to be back to my family- I did miss my girls. Time to get back to work, and ensure that my vacation money is sufficient for next year...

Epic Ride

Final preparations are under way for the motorcycle ride to the Florida Keys. Barring any potential tropical storms/hurricanes, the scuba diving should be great. I have yet to dive the Keys, so it will be fun to check out the wrecks in the area. I'm told that the currents there can rival that of Cozumel, so it should make for some interesting diving...

Combining two of my hobbies makes for a great vacation. Now I just have to figure out where to take my wife a little later in the year...
